The base of the heart is its upper portion and is formed mainly by the left atrium, with a small amount of right atrium. It lies at approximately the level of the second rib, immediately in front of the esophagus and descending aorta.

Answer to Question 2

When the ventricles contract, the pulmonic and aortic valves open, allowing blood to flow out of the ventricles.
